What kind of grease to use in jetpump

[Project Ski]

When you guys rebuild your pumps, what kind of grease do you use? anything special?

I use ATF oil, works great IMO.

 

[DaUpJetSkier]

would a trailer wheel bearing grease work?

 

[SUPERTUNE]

I like to use a light grease, I use white lithium. I like to take advantage of the HP I build with the motor.

thats what I use as well.....nice :cool2:







Chuck....Ive had a couple of pumps thru the years where one has regualar marine grease, and others had some sort of liquid grease (silicone, atf, royal purple???)....

whats the story on that?




All I ever figured out was...When opening a new pump for the first time, dont do it over your nice clean workbench :banghead:

most of mine are a combo of solid grease and the oil that used to be mixed in it. like when peanut butter sits for along time the oil seperates from the solids. only a fraction of the grease is actually in the bearings, the rest is just for show. and maybe to help waterproof the bearing. I guess thats why an oil would lube better but you alos run the risk of it leaking out. thats why ya got to maintain!

where there is grease, there can not be water

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic Bearing Grease it provides excelent resistance to rust, corrosion, and water washout. :biggthumpup:
